Okamura Neiji, Xue Yue, Yu Jishi and others did not expect that the Xuebing Army would be guerrilla troops entering Jiangxi. Of course, in terms of equipment level alone, the guerrilla units of the three divisions of the Xuebing Army were no worse than the regular army. , and if we have to find one difference from the regular army, it is that they do not have suppressive weapons such as tanks and artillery.
Under the command of Chu Tiange, the guerrilla troops of the three divisions were broken into pieces and carried out infiltration operations in regiments. A total of eleven regiments of guerrilla troops penetrated in as quietly as the rain after the spring tide. In northern Jiangxi, several regiments were encircled, and the squadron-sized and regiment-level puppet troops were directly destroyed by the group. However, the Japanese who were in the group size could escape partially if they saw the opportunity quickly, but they could not escape the fate of being destroyed by the group if they were slow to spot the opportunity.
The more than a thousand Japanese soldiers of the Matsumoto Battalion were defeated after only holding on for more than two hours. If Hattori Kishikawa hadn't been so sophisticated and quick to spot opportunities, it wouldn't have been as simple as Naoki Araki being killed. It is estimated that the remaining soldiers of the Matsumoto Battalion were still alive. Among the hundreds of Japanese casualties, none of them would be able to escape the fate of being shot.
Chu Tiange quietly occupied a large area of Jiangxi, connecting Nanchang, Yingtan, and Shangrao, and then killed a Japanese major general in one move. This single thing may not seem like much, but combined, it is It gives people the feeling of a large army entering the country, so it’s no wonder that Oka Cun and Xue Yue overestimated Chu Tiange.
Not two days after Ouyang Yun and Chu Tiange talked on the phone, Fuzhou Hutong Telecommunications Detection Team sent over an eavesdropped telegram. It was the same telegram that the Japanese military headquarters responded to Okamura. When Pan Meiren sent the telegram in , Ouyang Yun was approving a sum of money submitted by Chen Ce. After reaching an agreement with the Osaka Division and "borrowing" more than a thousand Japanese soldiers with certain skills from the division, the Navy began the construction of large warships. The construction cost of the ship was quite expensive. Immediately, Xuebingjun's finances became unable to make ends meet. Looking at the numbers in Chen Ce's report, Ouyang Yun shook his head and sighed: "Money, money, money."
Pan Meiren walked in with a serious look on her face, put the telegram in front of him, and said: "Brother, take a look, the Japanese are going to attack us."
Ouyang Yun looked up at her, glanced at the telegram, and his eyes could not help but shrink. He had long known that the Japanese army would concentrate its forces to attack Fujian and Guangdong, but he did not expect it to be so fast. The navy and land forces would concentrate their forces to attack, and the Xuebing Army Are you ready?
Pan Meiren: "Brother, the telegram was monitored by Hutong Fujian Telecommunications Detection Team. In addition to sending it back to the headquarters, they also sent a copy to Chief of Staff Chiang Kai-shek. Are you calling them and asking them to keep it secret? I'm worried about this. If it spreads, it will cause panic among the people. We have just experienced the turmoil in Guangzhou, and the morale of the military and the people is not very stable..."
Pan Meiren has been following Ouyang Yun, and her strategy and vision have been greatly improved. Her worries are not unreasonable. Ouyang Yun put his hands together and pinched his joints, narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, and said: "This is not appropriate. , if the Japanese army really concentrates its forces to attack us, this battle will not only be a matter for our Xuebing Army. Not only can this matter not be concealed, but it must also be publicized so that everyone knows that our Xuebing Army will face No matter what kind of predicament we are facing, only by uniting the power of everyone can we possibly survive this crisis."
"I know, I'll make arrangements right away."
At seven o'clock that night, without any warning, on all the TV screens that were turned on in Fujian, Guangdong, Qiong, and some places in northern Jiangxi, "A Song Every Day" had just ended, and Mei Lanshu, dressed in military uniform, appeared. He said solemnly: "The following is an announcement. Tonight's "Xuebingjun News" is cancelled. The speech of General Ouyang Yun, commander-in-chief of the Xuebingjun and director of the Fujian, Guangdong and Qiong Special Zones, will be broadcast live. Next, we invite Commander-in-Chief Ouyang. "
As soon as Mei Lanshu finished speaking, in front of tens of millions of televisions, every household started talking: "What big thing has happened? The commander-in-chief is going to give a speech again."
"Stop talking, the commander-in-chief is starting to speak."
Ouyang Yun has appeared at the spot where Mei Lanshu was standing just now. Those who are careful noticed that he did not bring his speech script. Ouyang Yun faced the camera and said seriously: "I may have disturbed everyone's meal, I'm sorry." After that, he He bowed low, raised his head, and said straight to the point: "Now I would like to inform you of some bad news. The intelligence we have just detected is that the extremely vicious Japanese militarists are in the hands of our heroic students. After encountering a major setback, they finally became angry and wanted to attack our Fujian, Guangdong, and Qiong forces. But this time, they will dispatch the main force of land and sea in order to defeat us in one fell swoop. I admit that it is difficult to compete with the Japanese army, which is known as the second strongest army in the world. Compared with the army, our student army seems very immature, but the Japanese have forgotten that it is not only our army that guards Fujian, Guangdong and Qiong, but also as many as 35 million Chinese soldiers in Fujian, Guangdong and Qiong. Citizens of the Republic of China, brothers and sisters, since ancient times, our Chinese nation has been famous for loving peace and loving life, but this does not mean that when we face external humiliation, we will tie our hands and give up resistance, brothers. , Sisters, those who offend our Chinese power will be punished no matter how far away they are. No matter how powerful the Japanese army is, no matter how many people they come, I am here to speak on behalf of the 200,000 soldiers of the Xuebing Army. Even if they fight to the last person, they will not be defeated. Never give up resistance. Since the Japanese militarists think that they can use guns, tanks and aircraft to force us to surrender, then we will retaliate with guns, tanks and aircraft. One moment and another, if they still think that China is still the China of the Qing Dynasty. , then I want to tell them, Japanese people, you are wrong. Today, you give me a bullet, and I will return ten to you tomorrow. Today, you kill one of my people, and tomorrow, I will massacre your entire city... Starting from tomorrow, a curfew will be implemented throughout the territory, and a road policy will be implemented. Everyone within the jurisdiction of the Xuebing Special Zone can leave with the road rules issued by the local government or the certificate issued by the military. However, I state first, don’t leave after you leave. Come back, everyone knows that what I, Ouyang Yun, hate the most in my life are traitors. Here, I would like to remind those people who are born with low bones to listen up. Whether you want to be a traitor or not is your personal freedom, but as long as you really take the action of a traitor , then it will be our student army’s freedom to deal with you. When I say these words, some people may want to scold me for my warlord style. Today I will leave my words here. As long as it is beneficial to the war, as long as it can To attack the Japanese, I will do it regardless of whether they are warlords or villains..."
Ouyang Yun often gave televised speeches, but this was the first time that his expression was so serious and his words were so unscrupulous. Moreover, it was also the first time that he acknowledged the title given to him by the Chongqing government: warlord. It can be seen that this time, he is I'm really ready to burn the boat,
